Introduction
This KVM Switch allows access to multiple PCs from a single console (keyboard, mouse,
and monitor). Control up to 8 PCs from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console.
This 8-Port KVM Switch provides two convenient methods to access any PC connected to the
system:
1. Using the port selection switches located on the front panel of the unit
2. Entering Hot Key combinations from the keyboard
A powerful Quick View Scan Mode feature allows you to auto scan and monitor the activities
of all operating PCs on the installation one by one.

Hardware Requirements
Console
• A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be
using on any of the PCs.
• A PS/2 Style Mouse
• A PS/2 Style Keyboard
PC
Each PC must have:
• A VGA, SVGA, Multisync card or USB port.*
• A 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style).
• Either a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 Style) keyboard port with +5V DC on pin 4 and Ground on
pin 3, or a USB port.*
Cables
The following are the cables needed to connect your KVM Switch to the CPUs:
P750-006 PS/2 Cable Kit – 6’
P750-010 PS/2 Cable Kit – 10’
P750-015 PS/2 Cable Kit – 15’
Note: The wiring and pin assignments will not let you to use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the KVM side of the cable.
Attempting to use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at both ends will fail.
* Use a B015-000 PS/2 to USB Adapter to connect a USB computer to the KVM (still requires a P750 series cable kit to
complete CPU connection).

Controls and Connections
B004-008 Front View:
1 Lighted Port Selection Button
• Lights GREEN to indicate which ports have been selected.
• Lights RED to indicate which ports are connected to a computer and powered on.
• An unlit button indicates that no computer is connected or that the connected computer is
not power on.
• A flashing button indicates which port is currently selected in the auto-scan mode.
B004-008 Rear View:
Power Jack
The optional power adapter plugs in here. The switch is designed to be non-powered (no
external power required). It draws the necessary power from the connected CPUs through
the Keyboard/Mouse connection. External power is required if the CPUs do not provide
sufficient power (operation will be erratic).
Console Port Section
Your monitor, keyboard and mouse plug in here.
CPU Port Section
The cables from the PCs plug in here.

Installation
Make sure that power to all the devices (KVM Switch and PCs) you will be connecting have
been turned off.
1. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console Ports
2. Use connector cable sets (listed in the Hardware Requirements section) to connect each PC’s
monitor, keyboard and mouse ports to one set of the KVM ports.
3. If you choose to use external power, connect the supplied adapter to the power socket on the
KVM switch and then plug the adapter into an AC power source. The unit is designed for
non-powered operation (it draws power from the computers via the keyboard and mouse
cables). If a computer only supplies 3.3V of power for the keyboard and mouse instead of
5V (as in the case of Notebooks), you will need to use the external power adapter.
Note: If you choose to use external power, the unit must be plugged in and receiving power prior to Step 4.
4. Turn on the power to the PCs.

Operation
Hot Plugging
Components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables
from the unit’s ports without shutting the switch down. The following procedures must per-
formed in order for hot plugging to work:
• Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
• Hot Plugging Console Ports:
When hot plugging the mouse from the KVM Switch’s console mouse port:
1. The mouse may be removed and replaced (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as it
is the same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the computers must be shut down for 10 seconds, then
restarted.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it is necessary to Power Off the KVM Switch, do the following before restarting it:
1. Shut down all the computers.
Note: 1. Unplug the power cord of any PC (connected to that KVM) that has the Keyboard Power On function.
2. If the unit is operating on external power, unplug the power adapter cable.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then restart the KVM Switch.
3. After the Switch is up, power ON the PCs.
Port Selection
Controlling all the PCs connected to the Switch is very easy. The following three methods can
be used:
• Manual
Simply press the appropriate port selection switch on the unit’s front panel. The Selected
LED will light to indicate that the port is selected.

Hot Key Operation
The following are the hot key commands for your KVM (keys must be pressed sequentially).
Change to previous port: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + [ ]
Change to next port: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + [ ]
Change to a specific port: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + “1” to “8” (depending on desired port)
Set auto-scan to “X” (where “X” can be 07, 15 or 30 for 7, 15 or 30 seconds): Scroll Lock
+ Scroll Lock + a + “X”
Start auto-scan: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + 0
Auto Scanning
Use the hot key command (Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + a + X) to set the auto scan duration.
“X” is the scan interval (see above). Use the hot key command (Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock
+ 0) to initiate the auto scan. The KVM cycles through all the ports, and displays each one
for the amount of time set with the Scan Interval. When you want to stop at a particular
location, press the spacebar key to stop scanning.
Note: If you stop scanning on an empty port, or one where the computer is attached but is powered off, the
monitor screen will be blank, and the mouse and keyboard will have no effect. To recover, key in the Hot Key sequence
(see Hot Key Selection, above), for any Port ID that has an active PC attached.
Operation
Mounting and Stacking Instructions
For convenience in large installations, the unit is supplied with the necessary hardware for rack
mounting in a 19” (1U) system rack, or stacked.
For Rack Mounting:
1. Screw the mounting brackets into the sides of the unit.
2. Slide the unit into the rack and secure it to the rack.

Symptom
Erratic Behavior
Pressing the Hot Keys does not
get a response
Troubleshooting
Possible Cause
Unit not receiving power under self-
powered operation
The connection from the selected
port to the target PC has been
broken, or the PC is turned OFF.
Improper KVM switch reset
Incorrect keying in the Port ID.
Action
Use the power adapter that was
provided with the units to provide
external power.
Check the Online LED for the
selected port. If it is not lit:
1. Manually press one of the
Select switches to connect to
a PC that is powered ON.
2. Check the cables to make
sure all are properly connected.
3. If the desired PC is OFF,
power it ON
Turn OFF KVM Switch and wait 5
seconds before turning it back ON.
This unit cannot be cascaded.
Note: If the unit is operating in the
Selfpowered mode (without the
optional Power Adapter), you must
unplug the power cord of any con-
nected PC that has the Keyboard
'Power On' function, otherwise the
switch still draws power from the
PC.
After invoking the hotkey function,
be sure to key in the Port ID and
press [Enter] within 1 second for
each key.
